PRS Custom 24 WL Burnt Maple Leaf

PRS Custom 24 WL Burnt Maple Leaf review

The PRS Custom 24 WL Burnt Maple Leaf is a limited Wood Library electric guitar built in the United States. Its listed specification combines a mahogany body, a figured maple top, a flamed maple neck, and a cocobolo fingerboard. The model has 24 frets, a 635 mm scale length, two humbuckers, and a PRS-style tremolo system. The supplied information gives a price of 6599, without specifying a currency, so no currency is assumed here.

This is a specification-based assessment, not a report from a playing session. No customer reviews are available, and the supplied details do not establish how this particular instrument sounds, feels, or performs in use. The build and hardware can be evaluated as listed, but claims about tone, tuning stability, comfort, or finish quality would require direct inspection and testing.

Materials and construction

The body is mahogany, with a maple top identified as a "10 Top" figured maple. The neck is flamed maple, while the fingerboard is cocobolo. These are distinct wood choices rather than a uniform all-maple construction. The Burnt Maple Leaf color is listed for the guitar, and the finish is nitrocellulose lacquer. The hardware is specified as smoked.

The product information does not give body thickness, neck dimensions, total weight, or details about the top's carve. It also does not explain whether the "10 Top" designation refers to a particular grading standard. Buyers who need those specifics should confirm them with the seller or inspect the instrument in person.

The neck profile is Pattern Thin, and the scale length is 635 mm. Those details give a clearer basis for comparing the neck and string length with other guitars, but they cannot determine personal comfort on their own. The fret count is 24. The fingerboard inlays are Sparkle Green Abalone Old School Bird inlays, a named decorative design that contrasts with the cocobolo board.

Pickups and controls

The guitar has two PRS 58/15 LT humbucking pickups, listed as an HH pickup configuration. Its controls are one volume knob, one tone knob, and a five-way switch. The available information does not provide a switching chart, pickup resistance values, or descriptions of the five selected pickup combinations. It would therefore be premature to assign a specific sound or switching function to each position.

The control layout is clearly defined, but the supplied specifications do not identify the control taper, capacitor value, or wiring details. Players comparing the Custom 24 with another instrument should check those details if a particular switching arrangement is important to them.

Tremolo, tuning hardware, and included case

A PRS Gen III tremolo is listed, along with PRS Phase III locking machine heads. The locking tuners are a concrete hardware feature, but their presence alone does not prove tuning stability under a player's preferred setup or tremolo use. The product details do not describe the bridge setup, spring configuration, or any factory adjustment.

A PRS D1 case is included. The listing explicitly says that a case is included and that a bag is not. That makes the supplied protection clear at the point of purchase, though no further details about the case's construction or accessories are provided.

Edition and buying considerations

The instrument is described as a limited-edition Wood Library model. Its availability date is June 2026, and item number 639122 identifies the listing. The specification field gives "Limited Run: 2," but does not explain the meaning of that figure. It should not be treated as a confirmed production quantity without clarification from PRS or the seller.

At the stated price of 6599, prospective buyers should verify the currency, current availability, and whether the listed configuration matches the instrument being offered. The product data identifies the model as Custom 24 and the body shape as ST style. It also lists the color as Burnt Maple, while the full product name and detailed color entry use Burnt Maple Leaf. The full name is used here to identify the product; the seller can confirm the exact finish designation.

Technical verdict

The listed specification makes this a clearly defined Custom 24 configuration: mahogany body, figured maple top, flamed maple neck, cocobolo fingerboard, two 58/15 LT humbuckers, a five-way switch, and a Gen III tremolo. The included PRS D1 case and locking machine heads are also specified. The listing leaves several practical questions unanswered, including weight, detailed dimensions, switching behavior, and the meaning of "Limited Run: 2." With no customer feedback or direct test data available, the sound and playing experience remain unverified.
